    Summary

    “Gandalf is going to turn me into a weasel,” Pippin told Boromir. “I shall need a pocket to ride in. May I borrow yours?”

    Boromir blinked. “Oh,” he said. “Ohh. Yes, certainly, so long as you are a weasel-sized weasel and not a hobbit-sized weasel.”

    Pippin turned to Gandalf, caught by this new idea. “Can you make me into a hobbit-sized weasel?”

    “For mercy's sake,” said Gandalf.

    In which Pippin has approximately sixty uninterrupted leagues to find out everything that can be found out from Gandalf and gets approximately sixty times more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    As they tarry for a time in Lothlórien, a passing thought leads to the Fellowship spending a night sharing spectral stories around a campfire. The bonds between them are still newly-forged, but through this exchange of tales, common ground might yet be found.

    OR

    The Fellowship of the Ring gets to know each other (and each other's cultures) better through the unexpected medium of ghost stories. Expect an Attempt at emulating Tolkien's prose & style as well as copious cameos/name drops/references to Legendarium lore of varying obscurity. There's a ghost story from the people of every one of the Nine Walkers in here! (Save Gandalf. Sorry buddy, but you're currently a little occupied having your dramatic resurrection at the moment. Love you tho!)

    Summary

    A localized rift of shimmering, iridescent light tore open just above the stone plateau. Gandalf stumbled back, his eyes wide. "That... was not the spell," he whispered.

    With a sound like a thunderclap, four figures were unceremoniously dumped onto the stone.

    Summary

    The Rohirrim quieted at Gimli’s approach. “You want to know how I ride with the Elf?” he asked them, blunt as always.

    A few of the men exchanged glances, and then one spoke up with a smile. “Yes, Master Dwarf. It’s only that we’ve never heard of such a thing, and it’s hard to imagine how you two might fit together.”

    Summary

    "Steady now, Master Elf, do not swoon."

    "Tis not my first arrow." Legolas snapped, irritation beating back the pain, and opened his eyes to see the hobbits exchanging quick looks. "You irk me on purpose." He realised, and then inhaled sharply as the pressure increased.

    "I thought it might keep you awake." Gimli admitted.

    --

    Legolas is wounded before they even reach the Misty Mountains. It brings the company together.

    Summary

    “Ach, elf, you’re making it seem like he’s wearing some fancy unmentionables. As long as Frodo hasn’t been parading around in an indestructible negligee there is no shame in the truth. Out with it, you pointy-eared devil.”

    “Bilbo said it belonged to an elven prince long ago,” Legolas sighed. He was certain he was flushed bright red as Gimli’s beard– he felt as if he were being set on fire from the inside.

    “Yes, he did say that.” Frodo’s brows pressed together, now with confusion. “Am I supposed to know the names of all elven princes from ages past?”

    “No,” Legolas said slowly. “But, I, ah, suppose on your journey you have met… one.”

    (In which the Fellowship figures out, amongst other things, the origin of Frodo's mithril shirt.)

    Summary

    Legolas hits the dreaded growth spurt about a month shy from his 50th nameday. Thranduil receives the troubling reports of his sleepless nights, plagued with aches and pains, crying and miserable with no salves nor massages that offer any relief for the stretching joints and tired muscles.

    It is a common phase amongst elflings, and nothing — as the physician emphasizes in his report, for his Highness to concern himself over.

     

    (Or the story of how Legolas got drunk for the first time)

    Summary

    In a bold move in the feud between Erebor and Mirkwood, King Thror orders the kidnapping of Thranduil’s son Legolas, a child too young to fight back and the most important thing in Middle Earth to the Elvenking.

    Prince Thorin, not even of age himself, finds he cannot let this stand, even if the kidnapped child in question is an elf. With the aid of his closest friends, he defies his grandfather and commits to protecting the young elf prince, no matter what that means.

    Summary

    Jon. The man's name is Jon, and he seems nice and kind and... married to Martin?

    Summary

    “Do … do any of you three listen to, ah, the podcast ‘What the Ghost?’ at all? The last episode, particularly.”

    “What the what now?”

    It rang a bell, actually, now that Tim thought about it; but not in any context that made sense in the same general region as Jonathan Sims.

    “Is that the podcast about hauntings?” Martin perked up a little at knowing the answer. “And, well, spooky stuff?”

    And, right, that was why Tim had suffered a cognitive disconnect. The podcast was a popular, light-hearted and open-minded exploration of the supernatural, while Jon’s relationship to the supernatural was one of exasperated dismissal. Why on earth he even worked here in the first place … but that just led to thoughts of why Tim, himself, was here and to unhealed wounds and … Tim would prefer to gently mock Jon for listening to a ‘spooky’ podcast, of his own apparent volition.

    “Yes, Martin, it deals with … ‘spooky’ stuff. And, also, apparently, practical jokes.”

    Jon's family would stop meddling in his affairs if he could show them he had a devoted boyfriend.

    Surely this fake relationship won't snowball out of control.

    Summary

    “Oh. Well…Peter was…I mean, he was fine, actually, I think?”
    Martin laughed lightly, the sound catching somewhat in his throat, blurred a little under the slow roll of the water just starting to boil.

    The flippancy in Martin’s voice dug at him, made something in him turn and twist and convulse. Peter had been…fine. It had all been fine. The man had forced Martin into whatever this hellishness had been, irreparably torn him down to nothing over the last year, and…and he was –

    “…Fine.”

    Summary

    “Everyone, this is Martin Blackwood, our latest acquisition. He’s the trailblazer for the new line in modern poets. You’re going to hear great things from this guy!”

    Tim tipped his glass proudly at Martin, who strove to look like a man from whom great things would duly spring. Though, with the way his nerves were rippling up and down through his body and playing the Flight of the Bumblebee on his internal organs, the only things currently liable to spring from him would be the bacon sandwich and coke he’d had for lunch.

    Summary

    Sunlight doesn’t penetrate that far into the Earth—a few millimetres, at most. Underground, the world is totally different, cold and dark. Despite that, soil pressing down and smothering you from all directions can be comfortable, something akin to the hypnagogic haze.

    One year ago, Martin Blackwood disappeared. Now, it’s up to Jon to find him.
